Judge Roger Forando of Granville, NY; ethical dwarf

The Judicial Commission found Roger guilty of the following misconduct.

• Attempted to influence and/or created an appearance that he was attempting to influence the outcome of a pending case by communicating his personal interest in the case to the presiding judge, the defendant's attorney and the District Attorney's office
• Engaged in illegal ex parte (one-sided) communications

As a direct consequence of his misconduct, the enablers for Judicial Misfits sitting on the Judicial Commission punished Roger by gifting him with a complimentary admonishment.

As we speak (ca. April 2019), Roger continues to sit as a Justice of the Granville Town Court and the Granville Village Court (Washington County) in Granville, New York.
